Camera lock screen iPhone 5 not working properly after upgrade to iOS 8

I submitted a bug report here and suggest that others experiencing the same problem do likewise:

Diki1998, you are a bloody legend! It's fixed!
Thought I'd have to get a replacement there for a sec! Truth be told, it really shouldn't be doing this in the first place but thanks a bunch for the tip 🙂

iOS 8.1.2 appears to solve this problem in every situation (even using voice command). Please, try and post the result.

thanks...

Unfortunately for me, the issue persists with iOS 8.1.2.

Turn off the ability to unlock the iphone via fingerprint and should work fine no matter the iOS version or sound control. 🙂
You can keep the fingerprint settings for everything else but the unlock.

I have only seen this problem in iPhone 5 and 5s but might be on other iphones as well.

Hopefully this "feature" will be gone soon.

This is the third (or so) iteration of updates where the bug is still present. I run the latest iOS 8.1.2 software. Incredible annoying since I use timer and camera all the time from my lock screen.

Best thing to do to follow RabeTech advices above, submit a bug report here: https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

I have reproduced the bug on an iPhone 4s, 5, 5c and my 5s (all in 8.1.2). It happens after you make a "Voice Control" call. If you reboot the phone the problem goes away until you make another "Voice Control" call. The weird thing is that if you use "Voice Control" feature to play music (instead of making a phone call) the problem does NOT appear!

Yes, the issue still persist. I used voice assistant to change the music track on my iPhone 5C. After removing the passcode and rebooting the phone did the trick.

Thank you

After the latest iOS update, camera went dead, black screen on both rear and front cameras when using Apple Camera occasionally can capture video but photo is dead. Not a hardware issue I suppose, since it works just fine with Google's SnapSeed App. Does anyone else experienced this? Anyone knows how to fix it? How do you complain about it to Apple?

Apple Camera app with black screen:

Google SnapSeed app working fine:

The bug is still there even after iOS 8.1.3...😠

Issues still remain after installing iOS 8.1.3

But this error is only there after using voice dailing (when the connection is made!)

For those who have the camera access problem from the lock screen: You prob have Siri turned off on your phone and use voice dialing. Just turn on Siri in the setting then turn off/on your iphone. The problem will go away. Hope this help. People turn off Siri because they don't want to use up there small data plan but if you just use it for voice dialing, the amount of data per month is very small.

I just found this on my iphone 5 lastnight and after using voice dialing (with Siri on), my camera access from the locked screen always works. I was frustrated with this annoying problem since IOS 8 update. I don't know if Apple will fix this in the future or not but at least you can get it back working by turn on Siri. I know someone had submit this bug to Apple. If you can update the bug to Siri specific, they may reproduce the problem easier.

Well I've tried absolutely everything on my 4s, including a full reset. This got rid of the problem for about 3 days and then it reappeared. It's really annoying as if you want to take a photo on the spur of the moment, the only option seems to be to enter passcode to unlock screen and then go to camera - by which time the event has passed! So the only workaround that I've found is to turn off the passcode - not ideal. Incidentally, I've tried Siri on or off and it makes no difference. I have version 8.1.2

Try to upgrade your phone to 8.1.3 first. Mine is iphone 5 IOS 8.1.3. Turn on Siri and power off your phone then power it back on.
